Var

Description

GHC uses several kinds of name internally:

These Var names may either be global or local, see Var

Global Ids and Vars are those that are imported or correspond to a data constructor, primitive operation, or record selectors. Local Ids and Vars are those bound within an expression (e.g. by a lambda) or at the top level of the module being compiled.

Synopsis

The main data type and synonyms

data Var Source #

Variable

Essentially a typed Name, that may also contain some additional information about the Var and its use sites.

Modifying Vars

updateVarTypeM :: Monad m => (Type -> m Type) -> Id -> m Id Source #

Constructing, taking apart, modifying Ids

mkExportedLocalVar :: IdDetails -> Name -> Type -> IdInfo -> Id Source #

Exported Vars will not be removed as dead code

globaliseId :: Id -> Id Source #

If it's a local, make it global

setIdExported :: Id -> Id Source #

Exports the given local Id. Can also be called on global Ids, such as data constructors and class operations, which are born as global Ids and automatically exported

setIdNotExported :: Id -> Id Source #

We can only do this to LocalIds

Predicates

isLocalVar :: Var -> Bool Source #

isLocalVar returns True for type variables as well as local Ids These are the variables that we need to pay attention to when finding free variables, or doing dependency analysis.

isExportedId :: Var -> Bool Source #

isExportedIdVar means "don't throw this away"

mustHaveLocalBinding :: Var -> Bool Source #

mustHaveLocalBinding returns True of Ids and TyVars that must have a binding in this module. The converse is not quite right: there are some global Ids that must have bindings, such as record selectors. But that doesn't matter, because it's only used for assertions

type TyCoVarBinder = VarBndr TyCoVar ArgFlag Source #

Variable Binder

A TyCoVarBinder is the binder of a ForAllTy It's convenient to define this synonym here rather its natural home in TyCoRep, because it's used in DataCon.hs-boot

A TyVarBinder is a binder with only TyVar

binderVar :: VarBndr tv argf -> tv Source #

binderVars :: [VarBndr tv argf] -> [tv] Source #

binderArgFlag :: VarBndr tv argf -> argf Source #

isVisibleArgFlag :: ArgFlag -> Bool Source #

Does this ArgFlag classify an argument that is written in Haskell?

isInvisibleArgFlag :: ArgFlag -> Bool Source #

Does this ArgFlag classify an argument that is not written in Haskell?

sameVis :: ArgFlag -> ArgFlag -> Bool Source #

Do these denote the same level of visibility? Required arguments are visible, others are not. So this function equates Specified and Inferred. Used for printing.

mkTyCoVarBinder :: ArgFlag -> TyCoVar -> TyCoVarBinder Source #

Make a named binder

mkTyCoVarBinders :: ArgFlag -> [TyCoVar] -> [TyCoVarBinder] Source #

Make many named binders

mkTyVarBinder :: ArgFlag -> TyVar -> TyVarBinder Source #

Make a named binder var should be a type variable

mkTyVarBinders :: ArgFlag -> [TyVar] -> [TyVarBinder] Source #

Make many named binders Input vars should be type variables

Modifying TyVars

nonDetCmpVar :: Var -> Var -> Ordering Source #

Compare Vars by their Uniques. This is what Ord Var does, provided here to make it explicit at the call-site that it can introduce non-determinism. See Note [Unique Determinism]
